Made from Koroneiki olives in southern Greece, this set comes with a classic, small-batch extra-virgin olive oil, plus two flavored oils (garlic and Greek herb and lemon). She can drizzle some over pasta or use the oil as a simple marinade for chicken. We love them because neither of the flavored options is too overpowering. We’ve even used them as salad dressings to boost flavor. ($75, Kosterina)

($329, Amazon)

It’s the same clog-style Birkenstock she probably wore as a teen but with a plush sherpa-lining. She’ll find herself wearing these around the house, to pilates, and even on a coffee run.
